Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. It's impossible to convince or even 'educate' someone who's not willing to critically look at what they believe in.

Because all valid arguments in favor of whatever belief aside, there's plenty of crap that keeps coming up in discussions like these. Effectively making it a game of who's got the biggest breath and most stubborn attitude, instead of ever reaching some kind of consensus. :p

As far as claims of 'only truth' go, if a God would have truly intended us to figure out which one is the only truth, than it would have made sure we are actually somehow able to check things for ourselves. Now, it's like throwing darts blindfolded at a board we do not even know exists, let alone what's written on it.

In the end, it just doesn't make sense to pretend to know things we can't possibly know.

Cheers
